Dec 31, 2015

Just a few days shy of Other Music's 20th anniversary, we are excited to publish our favorite New Albums of 2015 along with our picks for Best Reissues of the Year -- both lists being a diverse lineup of our staff's choices of the best, most surprising and enjoyable releases of the past 12 months. It's an egalitarian process here, and once again this list reflects the broad tastes of our staff, from improvised pipe organ to Grammy-nominated hip-hop to music from a long-forgotten Greek rebetika performer, and everything in between. (Please note albums are listed alphabetically, not in numeric order, and all of our Best of 2015 releases are priced on sale.)
